When the 21st Shanghai Art Fair concluded, Shanghai Customs had managed to clear 10 batches of international art shipments totaling $920,000.

Because of severe time constraints and to ensure the artworks could be released and exhibited on schedule, Shanghai Customs went into emergency mode with officers stationed at the exhibition, providing one-stop processing including on-site declarations, registration and immediate inspection and clearance of the exhibits.
